Be it known that I, WILLIAM S. SOLOMAN, shown. a citizen of the United States, residing at G is an operating-leverfulcrumed upon the Detroit, county of Wayne, State of Michiarm F, as shown at f, and is connected to the gan, have invented a certain new and useful bed or frame D to throwit in the desired di- Improvement in Cash-Carriers; and I declare rection upon the ways E E. the following to be a full, clear, and exact de- H is a stop to limit the throw of the upper scription of the invention,such as will enable end of the operating-lever.

and journaled upon arms 0 of said carriage. The operation of the device is as follows:

The end of the shaftis conupon ways E E, engaged upon the bracketA structed on an incline to permit the springat one'extremity and upon a supporting-arm controlled pawl to ride over the shoulder of 50 F at theopposite extremity. Said arm is the spindle and lock thereupon, In this po- I00 sition the wings j j of the sliding head adjacent to the ways E E abut against said ways .the bar, carrying with it the shaft and the carriage. The sliding head adjacent to the ways E E is held from moving; but the opposite head, by the movement of the shaft and carriage, is moved forward therewith, thereby compressing the spring I until the end of the pawl is forced sufficiently under the trippingbar K to liberate the pawl from the shaft, when instantly the spring impels the carriage to the opposite end of the track, where it is secured and operated in a similar manner.

In Fig. 6 I have shown the bracket A constructed for attachment to the ceiling instead of to a side wall, and in this case the auxiliary bracket A to which the ways E E are connected, may be adjust-ably engaged with the main bracket A, an arm A being sleeved into an arm A of the main bracket and being held in any desired point of adjustment by a setscrew A In this way an adjustable bracket is provided; but any other means of adjustment may be employed within the scope of my invention.

Vhat I claim as my invention is- 1. In a cash-carrier apparatus, the combination, with supporting-ways, of a reciprocatory paw1,a sliding carriage provided with a fixed shaft, sliding heads upon said shaft, a spring bearing on said heads, and means for disengaging said pawl from said shaft, substantially as set forth.

2. In a cash-carrier apparatus, the combination, with the supporting-ways B E E, of a carriage mounted to slide upon the supporting-way B, a shaft fixed to said carriage, sliding heads sleeved upon said shaft and having projecting arms, a spring bearing on said heads, a pawl or catch supported upon the ways E E to engage said shaft, means for reciprocating said pawl and means for disengaging it from said shaft, and a stop secured to said ways E E for the ends of the projecting arms of the sliding heads to bear against, substantially as set forth.

In a cash-carrier apparatus, the combination, with the supporting-Ways and the track, of a carrier mounted upon the track, a shaft fixed to said carriage, sliding heads engaged with said shaft, a spring bearing with its ends against the inner ends of said heads, a pawl mounted to slide upon the supportingways to engage the end of said shaft, and means for sliding the pawl, substantially as set forth.

Intestimony whereof I sign this specification in the presence of two witnesses.
